"A chilling, heart-pounding and thrilling conclusion to the story of the Highwayman killer . . . Preston has brought a fantastic story to life" (Anthony Avina, author of Identity). Having abstained from killing for almost a year, the Highwayman is coming unglued. Unsure if the FBI is watching, Lance Belanger spends his days and nights in a paranoid malaise, longing to kill again. Meanwhile, in Bucharest, Romania, an Interpol raid leads to clues and a witness who can identify the Highwayman. Armed with new evidence, newly promoted SAC FBI Agent, Dave Maxwell heads for Bucharest, as his team of investigators redeploys their investigation on their original suspect, Lance Belanger. It would appear, the net is closing. But the Highwayman has other ideas . . . Just after dusk, outside of Pittsburgh, four strangers exit a service van and perpetrate the mass murder of four families in their suburban homes. It doesn't take long for the FBI to connect the killings to Highwayman, and when they raid Belanger's properties, they are left a parting gift. Another murder and a message for Maxwell from the Highwayman himself: Come and find me! The killing ramps up, Maxwell leads a posse of investigators across two states, north to Canada to try and thwart the Highwayman in an endgame that involves kidnapping, mass murder, and betrayal. The predator is now the prey . . . "This is another exceptionally fine novel by a master story weaver. Few other authors can compete with his skill set! Highly recommended." — San Francisco Review of Books
